Tenant FAQs

Answers to your common questions

No. You must hire a professional carpet cleaning service, or have our carpet cleaners do the work. You will be required to submit a receipt.

Can I install a Satellite Dish?

It depends. Tenants are required to contact their assigned Property Manager to get approval. All HOA or Condo Association rules must also be followed.

Can you hold a place before I apply?

Unfortunately we are unable to hold properties. You must pay the full deposit in secure funds, in order to secure the home.

Do I pay first month’s rent and last month’s rent with my security deposit?

The security deposit, equal to a full month’s rent, is required to secure the property, once an application is approved. If the application is conditionally approved, a higher deposit may be required. The first full month’s rent is required, plus a $125 rekey charge is paid in secure funds prior to move-in. We do not require payment of last month’s rent at this time.

Regrettably, no.

I want to get a pet. What do I do?

Contact us at 904-807-8331 and we will provide you with information regarding the pet policy. The fee for an accepted breed of dog, or a cat is $300 per pet. There is never a fee for a documented service animal.

The deposit is fully refundable if you have met all conditions of the lease, and is paid to you within 30 days of move-out.

My lease expiration is coming and I want to move out. What do I do?

Your lease requires you to contact your Property Manager at least 60 days before the lease expiration date. We will then provide you with detailed move-out instructions.

What is considered an emergency?

An emergency would include any serious problem that requires repair as soon as possible so that there is no unsafe condition, and repair is necessary to prevent serious damage to the property or residents. A structural repair item such as no heat, fire, leaky roof, broken water main of sewage issue are examples. A broken Air Conditioner is considered an emergency if the outside temp is projected to reach over 90 degrees, or there is an infant or elderly resident.

Who is responsible for paying for repairs & maintenance requests?

Most repairs are paid for by the Landlord, and all repairs are completed by Collins Property Managers contractors, or contractors authorized by the owner. Tenants are required to pay for any damage they cause to the property, including damage caused by any guests. Your lease provides a more accurate description of your responsibilities.

Who needs a cosigner?

A co-signer is needed in unique circumstances, and for all College Students.

Will I be charged for maintenance?

Tenants are financially responsible for damage they caused as well as damage caused by any guest. Tenants are not responsible for normal wear and tear, as defined in our Tenant Handbook, which is given to all tenants at Move-in.
